Chapter 15 -15 Itās Necessary to Go
Song Lian lay on the bed, shouting loudly, determined to make Qiao En tend to him.
She remained motionless, simply refusing to heed his bidding.

āMr. Song, please bear with it, the doctor said once your injury heals, the pain will go away.ā
That was a pointless statement.
It had no soothing effect whatsoever.
Yet she said it with utmost sincerity, her eyes wide with shock, concern, and worry.
Song Lian rolled his eyes in frustration, āI canāt bear it!ā
āWhat should we do then? Shall I⦠go and call the doctor over?ā
āI donāt want a doctor, I want you to kneel and repent!ā
Song Lian took the opportunity to set a trap for her, but Qiao En simply wouldnāt fall for it.
She quickly left the ward and actually called for the doctor.
āWho the fuck asked you to call him? You dumb piece of shit, youāre deliberately trying to piss me off, arenāt you?ā
When Song Lian saw the person come in, he cursed even more foully.
āDoctor, Iām sorry, he wasnāt like this before. Please check him thoroughly, could he have suffered brain damage from the beating?ā
Qiao En uttered the last sentence in a very low voice.
āGet lost, donāt you fucking touch me.ā
As the doctor approached, Song Lian kicked out with his foot.
He roared angrily, āQiao En, you bitch, what did you just say?ā
Qiao En pulled the doctor out of the ward in time.
Song Lian continued to roar relentlessly inside the room.
Like a mad dog.
The doctor shook his head, frowning.
Qiao Enās eyes reddened, and she said, āDoctor, Iām sorry to trouble you.ā
The doctor nodded his head.
Soon, Song Lian was wheeled out of the ward.
āWhere the hell are you taking me?ā
He struggled, but it was useless.
At the examination room door, Qiao En stood waiting for him.
āMr. Song, letās have a proper check-up, it will be over quickly.ā
Her expression was sincere, but Song Lian felt there was something off about it.
āQiao En, if you dare to play dirty with me, Iāll fucking end you!ā
He hadnāt finished speaking when he was pushed into the examination room.
Half an hour later, he came out of the examination room.
The effect of the sedative hadnāt worn off.
He lay there sleeping on the gurney, exceptionally quiet.
The diagnosis was unexpected; Song Lian had severe mania, which was now uncontrollable.
The doctor prescribed medication for him, all with sedative effects.
At eight oāclock that evening, Song Lian woke up.
āWhat did you do to me?ā he asked Qiao En, looking at her with dull eyes.
His voice had lost its imperiousness and now carried a sense of weariness.
Qiao En felt he was a stranger.
But this version of Song Lian was safe.
She pulled over a chair and moved it a few inches closer to his bed.
āYouāre sick here,ā she said, gesturing to his head. āItās serious.ā
āBut,ā she added, āthe doctor said that as long as you comply with the treatment, thereās still a chance for recovery.ā
āIām not sick,ā Song Lian countered weakly.
Olanzapine is an effective medication for treating mania, stabilizing a patientās mood and inducing drowsiness.
After speaking a few sentences, Song Lianās eyelids became unusually heavy.
Before he fell asleep, Qiao En decided to clear the air with him.
āMr. Song, as the saying goes, āBetter to make friends than enemies.ā Since we met by chance, I have no intention of climbing your social ladder, and you donāt wish to stoop to my level, letās just forget each other in the vast sea of people.ā
She took a moment to muster the courage to speak that awkward piece.
āNo way!ā
Song Lian murmured the three words softly.
Qiao En took a card out of her bag, āThis is all my savings, Mr. Song. Iāve offered you my sincerity, now please do as you see fit.ā
As she said this, she got up and walked towards the door of the ward.
āDebts are to be settled, grievances to be addressed. Whoever did this to you, if you want revenge, go find him!ā
Qiao En was sure he didnāt have the guts.
But Song Lian was stubborn; clouded by drowsiness, he muttered, āFind you!ā
The volume was too low, and Qiao En didnāt hear it.
Tomorrow she was going to leave Rong City, she had no time to entangle with Song Lian any longer.
When she came out of the hospital, the sky was already pitch dark.
Qiao En walked toward the exit with her head down, when Cheng Lu suddenly appeared.
He was dressed all in black, his expression very solemn.
Qiao En was startled.
āWhat are you doing here?ā
āDirector Zhou wants to see you.ā
Cheng Lu said coldly.
He was a man of few words, and after speaking, he turned and walked away.
Qiao Enās heart sank, but she didnāt think much of it and quickly followed Cheng Luās steps.
After making two turns at the intersections, Qiao En saw the Maybach parked under the shade of the trees.
The windows were tightly closed, giving off an imposing aura.
Cheng Lu gestured invitingly, āDirector Zhou is in the car, donāt keep him waiting.ā
Qiao En nodded slightly.
She took steps towards the Maybach, and with each step, her heartbeat quickened a bit.
āDirector Zhou.ā
Qiao En stood still outside the car door; she did not get in.
āGet in the car.ā
The cold voice of Zhou Jināan came through.
āNo, thanks.ā Qiao En refused.
The temperature seemed to plummet instantly from inside the car to outside.
Separated by a car door, Qiao En could imagine just how intense Zhou Jināanās anger was.
āThank you, Director Zhou, for coming to the rescue today.ā
She had already thanked Cheng Lu for the daytime incident, but since Cheng Lu was acting on Zhou Jināanās orders to teach Song Lian a lesson, it was necessary for her to express her gratitude in person.
Zhou Jināan didnāt respond.
It was something she had expected.
Qiao En breathed a slight sigh of relief and then said, āI came to say goodbye, I am leaving tomorrow.ā
āWhere to?ā
āAmerica.ā
āFor how long?ā
Zhou Jināan inquired.
Qiao En felt at a loss inside.
Mrs. Zhou wanted her to leave, fearing sheād become a stumbling block between Zhou Jināan and An Kexin.
If she couldnāt comply with Mrs. Zhouās wishes, she probably wouldnāt have a place to stand.
āQuite a while, I guess.ā
Qiao En gave a noncommittal answer.
Silence spread between them.
Qiao En felt a bit choked up, but she managed a slight smile to cover it up.
āDirector Zhou, forget about me.ā
āCan you forget?ā The always silent Zhou Jināan suddenly asked back.
Qiao En pretended to be nonchalant, āWhy not?ā
How could she not? As long as she worked hard enough, she certainly could.
āGoodbye, Director Zhou!ā
As Qiao En spoke, she turned to leave.
However, just as she took a step, the car door behind her opened, and Zhou Jināan reached out with an ape-like arm and forcibly pulled Qiao En inside.
Caught off guard, she fell directly into his arms.
The car door closed again.
The space in the Maybach was compact, and Zhou Jināan, with his long arms and legs, was already cramped, now with an additional Qiao En, the confined feeling was even more pronounced.
āDirector Zhouāā
The two were too close, and she was shrunken in his embrace.
Qiao En struggled to get out of Zhou Jināanās arms, but he did not loosen his grip, holding her even tighter.
āMust you go?ā
He towered over her, his commanding face obscured in the shadows of the light.
āI must go!ā
Qiao Enās declaration resounded firmly.
She was but a pawn, with no control over her own destiny.
Zhou Jināanās eyes were as deep as the sea; his brow furrowed, he stared at Qiao En with an assertive intensity.
He had given her chance after chance.
She had refused them, time after time.
He reached out, gripping her chin, his knuckles turning white from the force.
āIām giving you one last chance, answer me properly!ā
Qiao En looked up at Zhou Jināan, towards the light.
Ripples stirred in her heart, but her face remained indifferent.
āDirector Zhou, I really must go.ā
She repeated the words he didnāt want to hear.
She had touched upon his raw nerve over and over again.
Fury blazed in Zhou Jināanās eyes, Qiao Enās obstinacy infuriated him.
āDirector Zhou, you said before, we take what we need from each other, no debts owed, have you forgotten?ā
Bringing up the past, Qiao En added fuel to Zhou Jināanās rising anger.
His face grew even more somber, like the darkened wilderness that threatened to swallow her.
Once more, Qiao En struggled, trying to break free from his shackles.
Suddenly, Zhou Jināan leaned in, catching her lips with his in an unexpected kiss.
